2 years later. Now is the time to buy s22 for me because i cannot afford latest flagship🤣🤣

something about symmetrical bezels makes a phone look so much nicer

I've had my s22 for a whole day before just now seeing your review, and couldn't agree more with what you had to say about it. Battery, very decent. Not amazing, but good. Camera, takes some great pictures. Better than my s10. UI, much more appealing than my s10. Device is sleek, comfortable, fast, reliable, and overall I'm pleased

I went from an S7 to this, huge upgrade! My S7 finally broke after 6 years. The S22 is roughly the same size as my S7, I don't want to go any bigger than this!

I heard 22 by Taylor in the beginning and was like… WATTT 👀

I'm not a Samsung guy, but the S22 design looks so clean and really nice this year. I prefer the S22 design over the S22 Ultra for once.

Marques is, by far, the best tech reviewer out there. The vibration motor critique....10/10!

Good presentation and execution with cinematic touches 👌🏽

I'm surprised no one mentions that they used Taylor Swift's 22 as background music for a S22 review video

As someone who’s not in love with big phones, it’s so nice to see a quality “compact” phone.

The difference in the sound of the vibration tests was immense

Just wanted to thank you for providing the insight you provide. I was in the market for a new phone, and watching this review among 20 other reviews from other creators made me decide on the S22. Ordered it last night in green on Google Fi! You make incredibly compelling content and you've made me a lifelong viewer. Keep up the great work, man.

Samsung did exactly what I wanted them to do, short of giving it the same cameras as the ultra. I prefer small phones because of all the adventures I go on. Hides way in my pocket nicely and takes great pictures. I'm excited to get my S22. Coming from an S10

background music was a masterpiece in this

the spurs/suns comparison sold me on the spot

This is exactly how I feel about my S20 FE 5G. Cheap? Yes. Is the camera good? Yep. Battery life? Pretty good. Proportions? Good. Screen? No complaints. It doesn't blow me away but I don't want/need it to. I love this phone because it fills everything I need in a phone, without costing me over $400. I really miss the S Pen though so I might pick up the S22 ultra when the S23 comes out.

Thank you for reviewing the normal S22. It's like a breath of fresh air in a flood of S22 Ultra videos.

The S22+ might honestly be Samsung's best design phone ever. It's definitely one of my favorite phone designs that I've seen.

Excellent review. I just got my s22 last night this thing is a BEAST! :D

Great review! Just upgraded from S10 to S22 only because of delayed patches on S10 and nearing EOS. On the vibration issue, I guess Samsung took a note of feedback and provided a vibration sound setting to alleviate the issue out of pocket at-least. Couldn't agree more to all things mentioned about Samsung maturing from bloatware over the years and now leading the way in Android features. I myself was OnePlus fan before moving to S10 which was a pleasant surprise and S22 has bettered it in terms of some cool nifty features in software like "video call effects". Having "Switch"-ed over my data from old phone, I will soon be missing the expandable storage I guess. Limiting battery charge to 85% is another cool feature to prolong battery life which makes sense as Samsung promised 4 years of software support. Thanks again for the great video helped me and many others make an informed decision.

The regular s22 with that small compact design and even minimal bezels all around, its the best looking design for sure, at least for me

Didn't think that this review will start with an NBA reference. Love the comparison tho :))

Love your reviews! Good stuff

I'm feeling 22! Props to your music team. Just ordered a new S22, looking forward to trying that google/samsung feature 🙌

I’m really a big fan of the design of the S22 opposed to the S22 ultra because it’s sleek, clean, and all the matte color finishes look amazing!

Always like the honest reviews on this channel. I'm going S22 for the more compact size and overall balance and quality. One thing I would like to see is some sort of rating for repairability. Screen and battery should replaceable to stop tech landfill where possible.

Your videos are incredible. Thank you for making such great content and actually speaking to the end-user of these devices. I speak for myself when saying your videos help when making decisions about buying tech.

I wished they have made a rugged version as well, with bigger battery. That would convinced me to update more often. :)

I really love smartphones with small form factor, flat edge, and thin bezel. The S22 nails it perfectly.

I would 100% go for the S22+ for the satisfying symmetrical bezels and the flat display. It looks so goooooood 🤤

Seriously astute review. Thank you for posting. The more you can talk about the Samsung S22 line-up individually by type, the more I will watch. Too many covering "S22 phones" when I search. Want to see you show up when I type a specific phone. All the same, thanks for your time to post this! So helpful.

A very concise review and excellent production value. Many thanks.

I bought the S22 last week. I ordered it on Tuesday night, after the official presentation, and it arrived less than 2 days later, on Thursday morning, even though on the website it said it would arrive in March. The size is good, the battery lasts well (more than 24 hours for normal use), the supercharger works fast (this is my preferred way of charging it as the wireless takes considerably longer), it doesn't heat up (only on day 1 while I was setting it up). The size is the right one for me as I'm a woman and anything bigger looks like the size of my head.

The symmetrical bezels are so nice. It makes the phone 10 times better looking.

I can tell you're a fan of Basketball. I luv how you reference that in your videos when you describe or compare products and their features.

i cant get over the fact that you put the 22 instrumental in the background during the intro. i love it

I've never thought about the direction of the vibration motor inside phones until I watched this review. Thanks for unlocking that in my brain, Marques 😊

That's why I prefer watching this channel's reviews over other channels. I appreciate how Marques can articulate and bring such a interesting discussion about tech over boring, but really good phones.

I loved your car videos and now see that you do phones, too, awesome!

Awesome video! Great coverage of these phones' features. Thank you.

Ok MKBHD, more than a casual basketball fan, I respect it

can't believe the intro is Taylor's 22 remix!!! LOVE IT!

First time seeing a wonderful review. You really know you stuffs. cheers man

I have had my s22 for nearly a year now,and have to say it's a great little phone. Great performance,love the design and I get all day battery.only thing I don't do is gaming and I get anywhere between 5-7 hours sot with a full days use(and a bit more). I keep it on 120hz and adaptive brightness. I do tweak some things like: *Dark mode *Put apps in deep sleep *Turn off nearby/printer scanning *Use 4g instead of 5g Also I always perform partition cache wipe and galaxy apps booster after every software update.

First things first, great review as usual. The Iphone of android is a very bold title and it is very interesting to see Samsung taking less risks to bring a more "main stream" phone to the market. No new tech or crazy functions, just what they know they can do well in a good looking phone. It is very sad to still see people "defending" Apple and Android in the comment section as if they would get paid to do it. As long as all brands develop good phones and offer competitive price's, all consumer's win. Samsung certainly pushes Apple out of their conforte zone as much as Apple does it to Samsung. For us, it is a clear win-win 👌🏻

Is no one gonna talk about “Taylor - 22” used in the intro? That’s brilliant!😂

One of the reasons why I'm thinking of switching to an iPhone is that a 6.1 inch screen seems perfect for my hands. I currently have a phone with a 6.7 inch screen phone and it its way too big for me so it's good to see Samsung making the screen smaller.

Your content is enjoyable, relaxing and informative while maintaining the ability to not bore. Cant wait for a fuller review of the s23.

6.1" is perfect, hate the trend of huge screens

Those slim bezels with the beautiful screen really makes the design look so good

Thanks for the informative review mate.

I went and bought the S22+ for myself and my wife (7.22.22) , based off the strength of Marques' excellence of his reviews. We had the S9+ ever since it dropped, and was glad to get my next phone, just based off of Marques' reviews. Good job, Sir.

I like how phones are getting compact. Looking to get S22

I can definitely get behind this trend of slightly trimming down the size of these huge flagships to something more manageable.

Great video - may I ask what background you use? Does it change depending on the time of day? it looks amazing.

Great review - Thank you. As always it was most helpful. Cheers.

Really like the design of the S22; could have been a real challenger to my Pixel 6 Pro if it came out earlier

Saw this in store today, it's way smaller than you think, and I absolutely love the flatter designs.

I’m picking mine up today! Thank you for the video!

Seriously, I switched from the note 20 ultra to the z flip 3 to the s22 and I'm glad I did. Don't get me wrong, the flip 3 is a BEAUTIFUL phone and far stronger than many rumors would have you believe. Mine was still in pristine condition when I traded it in. Anyway, I digress. The s22 is a breath of fresh air and sigh of relief in phone form. It's so awesome to not have to "baby" a phone anymore due to it having multiple "weak" and vulnerable spots. Its sooooo wonderful to not have to deal with a curved screen. I'm grateful for a flat screen because I haven't had one since I grabbed the note 9 years ago. The s22 is everything a person needs and a tiny bit more in a cute and compact form. I'm definitely happy!

Samsung is doing pretty great stuff in their Good Lock app. Some features were straight up added to One UI, some are just good usability and customization enhancements. I have stopped using NovaLauncher for the first time in years and am just using vanilla Samsung quite happily.

idk about you, but 0:28 you're feeling Twenty-Two, Marques?

As much as I want it right now, I'm gonna wait till the release of 8 gen 2 to decide. It's just 2 more months to see how much better it can get over 8g1 since the biggest change to s23 is probably just the chip, which is actually important cause it seems the bettery life and heat are the main problems of the phone

Went from a A20 to a S22, very pleased. Battery is not as good but it charges very fast. If you turn off certain options the battery life can be improved.

Samsung should be really proud of what they have actually done

Im so glad we're back to flat screens, Ive hated the edge curves ever since the s7. And I feel like one of the things that have cemented Samsung's default android phone status lately is that there aren't as many flagship options left anymore

I love how you used the song 22's instrumentals for the Samsung s22 review, really clever. The swiftie in me jumped 😂😍

I use to think 🤔 I needed bigger phone. Well 6 yrs later I appreciate a 6" phone that easily fits in my pocket and one I can use one handed . I believe the smaller phones are coming back. Just need to work out the kinks on battery life ..... I purchased a Samsung s22 And so far I like it 👌 A-

Really liked the animations in this one!

Watching this one day after getting my S22... this phone is... amazing... elegant... classy... powerful... I love it... but yeah, it is not anything new or revolutionary.. just a great phone, with great specs and a really premium finish

it is great that not only can I watch the video review which is great too, but I can also read the comments section and read the reviews from actual users.

0:20 Love that you added Taylor Swift's 22 into the intro to go along with the S22 review. Great attention to detail!

The smaller S22 is the first phone I'm _potentially_ interested in upgrading to from my S10e. I can't get with the larger screen sizes, and it's good to hear the battery life is still decently well on the S22 (which has a 3700mAh compared to the S10e's 3100mAh, but obviously with the new gen processor and 120Hz refresh rate to make up for that difference). And four years of updates? Hot damn. It's just the lack of a headphone jack that still puts me off... I'd have to get a 3.5mm->USB-C connector if I pick up the S22. But it's definitely on my radar this year.

I really liked the wallpapers you showed, can I get a download / image link so I can use that background? Thanks!

I'm about to switch from a S9 to the S22 next month was hoping to get an iphone 13 but S22 looks and performs better

Samsung S22 looks so good! I really like the compact form factor and it was one of the biggest reasons for switching to a 13 mini earlier this year. Before that, I was using the Pixel 4a which was also very compact. Hope this trend of making compact phones continues! 😊 And as always, great review Marques!

S21 Ultra still feels like a dream to use imagine how amazing S22 Ultra be

Also don't forget the blast feature. Where their substandard battery will explode, taking a part of your body with it.

Samsung was my first Android phone when I retired my Nokia Windows phone. It taught me about home screen looping and Dark Mode. The only brand I've used without having to install a launcher for looping is LG. LG phones also had Dark Mode whereas other brands didn't have it until Android 10 was released. I've been debating about going back Samsung and this video makes me lean a bit more that way. That haptic motor is one of the first things I turn off. The first time I touched a smartphone screen with it on it felt like I was being shocked and the phone went flying. Another thing I turn off is the sound of me touching the screen. That's annoying as all get out...

The S22 feels more close than ever as the refined version of S10, Samsung's one of the best flagships

I would 100% Go for S22+ for the symetrical bezels and the flat display. even better with the flat frame!

6:23 Changing the axis of vibration could be related to the new option of "sync vibration with rongtone "

The perfect video. Everything clear and timed correctly. I have no questions. Thanks.

Only marques would notice a shift from a z-axis vibration motor to an x-axis one... halmarks of a great reviewer

I like the design and color options the S22 has. 👍

Thanks. An excellent introduction for my new phone.

That taytay 22 song makes me feel so good

The S22 with a more compact size than last year's model, the new S22 goes straight for the heart of mini phone lovers. The screen size has gone down to just 6.1" and it's really a very good looking phone that Samsung has build.

The intro is spot on 🔥🔥

got my S22 this month after using my previous phone since 2015 😆gladly i've got the phone that's in the line of latest models. So far I am happy with its features

That intro is sickk I love how the song 22 by Taylor is edited in to a review for the S22 lol

The S22 with it's smaller size, very slim and symmetrical bezels, contour cut camera bump design, and One UI 4 that fits the device's hardware really well looks so good to be. In my opinion it's the best looking phone right now personally, better than S22 Ultra even though it also is really nice.

I'm really looking forward to this to replace my slightly aging S9+ my biggest issue with the S9+ is the curved edges cause the screen protectors always keep forming wrinkles after like 4 days. Really hyped to get this!

i love the 22 playing in the background!!

22 - Taylor Swift (Taylor’s Version) in the background at the beginning is everything ✌️

Wow I remember 4” on a phone being considered big and the galaxy note 1 being considered massive and now that screen size is below the norm 😂

Me at 0:01 : I'M FEELING TWENTY TWOOOO

another fantastic review. Thank you!!

The reason why the change in the vibration motor axis could be to avoid the camera bump wobbling and creating extra noise.

I love it. Its the best Galaxy design since the s10. I had almost given up on Samsung until now.
